Lots of interesting discussion on here about the legalities but I'm really interested in how the RPs actually managed to find this guy. Are we seriously concluding, that an eagle eyed inspector who mans Cannon Street barriers every morning managed to face-recognise this very ordinary looking...

Very interesting!

Someone mentioned to me a curious once a day service that used to operate in GNER days that left Leeds station and didn't call at Wakefield Westgate or Kirkgate. Apparently it joined the ECML somewhere between York and Doncaster, and then ran semi fast to London. Anyone have any more details on...

Yes - if only there were some vids!

Looking through some old railway photos if seems these were quite common place during the winter months at northern major stations such as Perth, Carlisle, Dundee, etc. What phased then out? Was it the end of steam heating on trains, better insulation in pipes, the health and safety aspect of...

Not saying that either of these places are "in" London, but they are in a geographical sense that they are London commuter towns

Putting cost of tickets to one side, in consideration of time spent getting to the terminal only and remembering that crossrail is still 4 years away, should these airports be temporarily considered 'London'? Take for instance a journey beginning in Central London, at Oxford Circus: which is...

Any details on the new routes yet?

Thanks for all the information guys - definitely some food for thought there...

I might be moving to Milton Keynes soon, and will be regularly travelling into London on the morning rush hour. Just wondered, which services are normally rammed and which are quieter? Also are there any hidden (set down only) VT services that are worth bearing in mind? I don't mind getting up...

Interesting thanks for your responses. I hadn't thought of the London overground route. It is Sunday 30th March for the record.

How would you advise someone wanting to get a non folding (I.e standard) bicycle on a train from kings cross to Hampton wick area without cycling on roads on a Sunday afternoon? Is it possible? Best route / advice appreciated. Thanks

Were you given an MG11?

I have one if you're interested? Second hand but still looks reasonable enough. They were generally issued to staff and contractors requiring 'all routes' passes when travelling about the country

Clapham Junction to Willesden Junction is worth a gander

My comments: nice to see a railway enthusiast as the hero of a film. Loads of continuity errors, and historical errors: Berwick with OHL when it is supposed to be 1980 A dubious rake of IC mk1s, BR blue and blood and custard old BR carriages being moved by a West Coast railways 47 in what is...

All lines currently closed. - Grand Central update

Three hypothetical situations: (I've never done this / and I'm not planning on doing it): A passenger boards a train without a ticket in a penalty fare area going to a destination that is not in one. E.g. Crofton Park to Hastings, and they get caught at Shortlands: can the passenger demand...

As you come south out of Charing Cross station, just before you get into Waterloo East on the left hand side of the tracks in the direction if travel is an object that look like an old air raid siren. It's mounted quite visibly on part of the balustrade iron girder bridge Anyone know what it...

That's what I thought, and I'm sure I've done this before but East Coast have just said no over the phone.
